Royal Mail is marking the centenary of the birth of Bond creator
Ian Fleming with six
stamps issued on 8 January and featuring
different editions of six of his most famous novels. Buckingham
Covers have released special limited edition first day covers
featuring the stamps - and autographs by famous James Bond cast
members!

This action packed, underwater adventure cover
is officially licensed by Fleming Publications. It is postmarked
at St Margaret's-at-Cliff,
Kent, where James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming lived. As well as
the standard edition, a limited number of these first day covers
have been signed by Richard Kiel (Jaws, "The
Spy Who Loved Me", "Moonraker"), Patrick
Macnee (Sir Godfrey Tibbett, "A
View To A Kill") and James Bond himself, Sir Roger
Moore.

Diamonds are forever... and so is this classic
James Bond cover. The design, stylish simple to compliment the
colourful stamps,
shows luscious diamonds cascading before the faintest hint of
a gun barrel. The cover is postmarked at Mayfair, when James Bond's
creator, Ian Fleming, was born - and you dice on the postmark.
A limited number of covers signed by one-time James Bond actor
George Lazenby are available. The following Bond girls will also
personally sign a limited number:
